Chapter 266 Begging for mercy
Lin Ling opened the food delivery app, spent a long time choosing what to eat but couldn't decide, and finally handed the phone back to Qin Yiche, saying, "You order, I'm fine with anything."
Seeing that she had been looking down for a long time and hadn't ordered anything, Qin Yiche had no choice but to take the phone. "Do you have decision-making difficulties?" he said, swiping through the phone as he looked at it. After looking through it once, he put the phone in his pocket. "Never mind, let's just order the hotel to deliver."
Lin Ling, “…”
Haha, you say she has decision-making difficulties, but he doesn't either!
Finally, Qin Yiche called the hotel's Chinese restaurant to order room service and ordered several local dishes from Hong Kong. The two of them ate lunch in their hotel room. After filling their stomachs, Lin Ling went back to her own room first.
The two of them stayed at the hotel and waited for Moze to return.

Mo Ze took a taxi from the hotel to the villa, where only the butler was in the lobby. The butler immediately greeted him, "Young Master Mo Ze, you've arrived."
Although Mo Ze's identity has not been officially revealed to the public, it has been officially announced within the Qin family.
The butler led him directly to Old Master Qin's study, where Mo Ze had visited before.
Upon reaching the study door, the butler stopped. "Young Master Aze, please go in. The master is waiting for you inside." With that, he left.
After the butler left, Mo Ze raised his hand and knocked on the door. A somewhat aged but familiar voice came from inside, "Come in~"
Mo Ze pushed open the door and went in, where he saw Old Master Qin standing by the window.
He hadn't seen him for just two days, and he wondered if it was just his imagination, but the old man in front of him seemed to have aged a lot, truly looking like an old man.
"Grandpa~" Mo Ze took the initiative to speak first.
Grandpa Qin was still standing by the window, looking up at the scenery outside. "Look, the fruit has started to ripen. Spring is over..." he said abruptly. Mo Ze stood there without saying anything, waiting quietly.
After a while, Old Master Qin turned around, looked at Mo Ze, smiled slightly, and said, "You haven't seen a picture of our Qin family's most outstanding master, have you? I'll find it for you."
Without waiting for Mo Ze to see the photos, Old Master Qin went straight to find them.
He stood beside the tall bookshelves, put on his reading glasses, and searched row by row for the photo album, muttering to himself, "I remember it being here, where did it go..."
Moze walked to the other side and looked up at the books on the bookshelf.
Grandpa Qin is a well-read man. His bookshelf is filled with everything from the ancient "Art of War" to the modern "Business Empire," as well as many medical and even accounting books, which he has read many times over.
Suddenly, he saw a thick book without a name, reached out and pulled it out; it was indeed a photo album.
"Is this the one?" Moze asked.
Grandpa Qin turned around, saw the photo album in Mo Ze's hand, and his face lit up with joy. He walked over to him and said, "Yes, yes, this is the one. Why is it on this shelf? You're really getting old, and your mind isn't working as well anymore."
The old man took the photo album, opened it, found the photo he wanted to show Mo Ze, and then excitedly handed it to Mo Ze, "Look, look, it's this photo. Look at these eyes, these blue pupils, it's exactly the same."
Moze looked at the person in the photo. His features showed signs of mixed race, especially his blue eyes, which made it even more obvious.
Grandpa Qin continued talking to himself, "When your parents said they had found you, I didn't really believe them. After all, more than thirty years had passed, and back then they said..."
"How could we possibly find it!"
“The Qin family is large and powerful. I always thought they were after the Qin family and had tricked my eldest son and daughter-in-law.”
“I know they were deeply hurt by the death of that child over the years, so I agreed to let them adopt Qin Yiche. They said he must be their biological child, and I said, let's bring him back to meet them. I'll personally check him out for them.”
"Later, when you came to our house, the moment I saw you, I knew you were definitely a descendant of the Qin family. Your blue eyes look so much like my grandfather's..."
Grandpa Qin seemed to have turned into a nagging old man, rambling on about the scene of Mo Ze's first visit to the villa.
Mo Ze listened quietly, his face expressionless, standing to the side.
It's impossible to know what he's thinking.
As he spoke, Old Master Qin glanced at him. At that moment, he couldn't help but admire his grandson's composure and ability. After so many things had happened, he was still able to remain so calm in front of him, which made him unable to say what he originally wanted to say.
"Your uncle..." Old Master Qin finally brought up Qin Yu.
“Your uncle did make a mistake back then, and Grandpa has no objection to that.” After Grandpa Qin finished speaking, Mo Ze finally spoke up.
"It's not just about what happened back then. The night I returned to the Qin family, he sent people to hunt me down and kill me, and he also sent people to Jiangcheng to follow us. Grandpa, are you not planning to bring up these things?" Mo Ze suddenly raised his head and looked at Old Master Qin with a straight, cold gaze.
Old Master Qin was stunned by his gaze and remained silent for a long while.
Finally, he nodded as if giving up, "Yes, these things are unforgivable, Grandpa knows..."
Old Master Qin sat back down in his chair, looking quite old.
“From a young age, I had high hopes for your father, and even for you before you were born. I always raised you with the goal of nurturing a successor. In the Qin family, the eldest son and grandson’s position is unshakeable. So, I didn’t have high hopes for Qin Yu, your uncle. He just needs to live comfortably on his share of the company’s profits. He won’t have to worry about food or clothing.”
"Perhaps I underestimated human nature, and also underestimated how tempting money and power are to a person. I never expected him to do this." Old Master Qin began to reflect on himself.
Mo Ze looked at the old man in front of him and asked, "What do you want me to do? Let my uncle go? I'm sorry, Grandpa, I can't do that."
He could never forgive someone who had tried to kill him.
The rest of Qin's words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them anymore. He looked at Mo Ze, moved his lips, and finally sighed deeply.
"Alas, you reap what you sow!"
